Draw-Tite has designed custom-fit trailer hitches since 1946 and is one of North America's most widely fitted hitch brands. Receiver hitches use solid all-welded construction and low-profile designs that follow modern vehicle contours, install with minimal bumper cutting or drilling, meet or exceed V5 CSA and SAE J684 standards, and carry a limited lifetime warranty.
Draw-Tite has been leading custom-fit trailer hitch design and engineering since its founding in 1946, and it remains one of the most widely fitted hitch brands in North America. The company's stated approach is straightforward: every hitch is tested rigorously so that it performs well beyond published industry standards, a philosophy it markets as Tested Tough. It sits within the Horizon Global towing group alongside Reese, Fulton, Bulldog, Tekonsha, Bargman and Wesbar.
Custom fit is the defining characteristic. Rather than adapting a universal design, Draw-Tite engineers a trailer hitch for a specific make, model and model year, so it bolts to existing frame locations with minimal bumper cutting or drilling. Low-profile designs follow the rear contours and aerodynamic styling of modern vehicles, which matters more than it once did now that rear fascias are shaped and sensor-equipped. Construction is solid all-welded steel for maximum strength, and every hitch meets or exceeds V5 CSA and SAE J684 standards and is backed by a nationwide limited lifetime warranty.
The range spans receiver sizes and classes to suit different loads, from 1-1/4 inch receivers for bike racks, cargo carriers and light trailers up through 2 inch receivers for heavier towing. Front mount hitches add a receiver at the front of the vehicle for winch mounts, snow plows, spare carriers and precise trailer positioning.
The Hidden Hitch series takes concealment further by mounting behind the vehicle's rear fascia, so the vehicle keeps its factory appearance until a removable receiver is fitted. Each is custom designed per make and model for a no-drill installation that does not compromise ground clearance, rated for up to 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 350 pounds tongue weight. Matching plug-and-play wiring completes the towing system.

The 45507 is a weight-carrying hitch with a maximum gross trailer weight of 12,000 lb (5448 kg) and maximum tongue weight of 1,200 lb (545 kg). Do not exceed the lower of your vehicle manufacturer's towing rating or these limits.

The fastener kit 45507F includes: 8 carriage bolts 1/2-13 x 2.00 GR5, 4 spacers 0.250 x 1 x 2, 4 conical washers 1/2", 8 lock washers 1/2", 8 hex nuts 1/2-13 GR5, 4 spacers 0.250 x 1.5 x 3, and 4 flat washers 1/2".
The average installation time for professional installers is 45 minutes. If you do not feel comfortable performing the installation yourself or need assistance, contact a professional installer.
No. The manual explicitly states: "This product is not recommended for use on a 1/2 ton vehicle."
1. Place two 1/2" carriage bolts with large bolt plates (spacer item 6) through the two rear holes on each side of the frame. 2. Lift the hitch to the frame with bolts going down through rear holes in brackets. Install 1/2" flat washers, lock washers, and nuts. 3. Install 1/2" carriage bolts with small bolt plates (spacer item 2) down through front mounting locations, with plates turned sideways and laying flat on the bottom of the frame. 4. Install 1/2" conical washers (teeth side against hitch), lock washers, and nuts. 5. Tighten all 1/2-13 GR5 fasteners to 75 lb-ft (102 N·m) with a torque wrench.
All 1/2-13 GR5 fasteners must be tightened to 75 lb-ft (102 N·m) using a torque wrench. Proper torque is needed to keep the hitch secure to the vehicle when towing.
The front mounting bolts use small bolt plates (spacer item 2) that must be turned sideways and laid flat on the bottom of the frame, as shown in the installation diagram. The rear mounting bolts use large bolt plates (spacer item 6). The conical washers must have their teeth side against the hitch.
Always wear safety glasses when installing the hitch. Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. If the hitch is removed, plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes.
If excess sway occurs, take your foot off the gas pedal and hold the steering wheel as steady as possible. Do not apply your brakes and do not speed up.
Load the trailer heavier in front. Always wear your seatbelt. Slow down when towing and never exceed any posted speed limit. Do not exceed the lower of your vehicle manufacturer's towing rating or the hitch rating (12,000 lb gross trailer weight, 1,200 lb tongue weight for weight-carrying configuration).
Check that all fasteners are tight and the hitch is securely mounted to your vehicle. Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. If the hitch is damaged, it should be removed and replaced.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual does not specify an exact interval, but periodic inspection is required to maintain safe towing.
